What are some pros and cons of using one over the other ?

IE has made some good changes in recent past and vulnerability of getting hit by spyware is a bit below than what it used to be...

Firefox, although built on top of IE API, showed immense resistence and security layers agains spywares from its arrival.... The cons for firefox is really to set it up so things like Jscript and DHTML are actually run on the browser.... IE has those things set to go by default... but then, spywares are mostly spread by scripts run on the client's side hence, the justification why firefox has been good in sheilding the boxes from these threats...

If things are set up properly, they both are fine.... Firefox actually have some cool add-ons to it which IE lacks, so if you are into those catchy Add-ons, you might wanna abandon IE

Apart from the technical configurations which AQ Bhai mentioned, Firefox all the way. Daily gadgets can be downloaded and installed right into the browser, applications such as AccuWeather, ClipMarks and so much more. There are skins available for it which makes it appealing. If I remember right, Firefox was also the first major browser to incorporate the capability of "multi-tabbing", a footstep which IE later followed.

pakfuse loads quicker on mozilla. In other words, Mozilla is better. :winkey;

Compared to IE , every other browser loads faster.

I have IE, FFox, opera, safari and chrome. And I use IE only for one task. Other than that I avoid it like a plague now.

I do NOT like IE at all

Opera has a lot of little toys and trinkets...check it out.

Here is my analysis..

IE -- simply sucks..!! WHY... because it is crappy and unsecure. Newer versions 7 and 8 are a bit better, but still are crappy. if there are errors, its hard to pinpoint where the problem lies.

FFox -- Simple ROCKS..!! why.. cause it has add-ons, can be customized, has more control like scripting vs no scripting, blocks those stupid ads which I HATE the most and is pretty fast once loaded. the initial load time is sometimes longer (thats becuase i have many addons.. )

Chrome -- This one is definately the FASTEST out there that I have tried.. BUT.. it has limitations (for now.. ?) i will not move from FF that easily Chrome can pose a good challenge to FF in the coming years.. The biggest thing I hate about Google is the privacy policy..!! Remember this .. NOTHING IS FREE..!! (I write in caps not to yell, but to emphasize)..

Safari -- a very cool and slick browser.. has its issues with Windows, but nonetheless, for MAC lovers, thats the best option.. (I aint a MAC-ee)..

Opera -- like Opera Windfrey..? lol.. no.. this browser has the coolest tricks and features.. but unfortunately is lacking support... it is wasnt FF, i would be on Opera.. and TABBED browsing was started from Opera..!!



So.. the Winnerr.rrrrr... is .. FIREFOX..!! :cheers:

the newer version.. 4.0 is in the makes.. and that promises speed and integrity..! cant wait..

adios..!

Blonde Baji

FF all the way !!!
